With the weather still be favorable - I headed out to Conch Reef for a solo dive. I decided to try the NE buoy where the pillar coral is located. I was surprised to find out how devastated those coral pillars are. Probably 70% has died off.
Further down the reef I did encounter a very cute little balloon fish. I also captured some good video of a christmas tree worm as it emerged from the coral. A very nice dive.
